At the ungodly hour of 5:45 a.m., Dallas has nothing more on her mind than making coffee and prepping the final day´s shooting for the summer catalogue. But the surreal display that greets her on the set—a dead, nude model who was the most promising face of the year, and a wild-eyed, knife-wielding Raul Domingo, the Cuban artist whom Dallas hired for the shoot—isn´t her idea of a great fashion spread. And when Raul takes off, leaving Dallas alone at the crime scene, the police peg her as their number one suspect. Using her widespread network of Texas friends and family to get to the bottom of it all, Dallas recognizes a perfect set-up when she sees one. Now her only chance of beating a murder rap is to go on the run with the self-proclaimed innocent Raul, a sexy man who could grace the covers of GQ…or be a deranged killer.

It´s an investigation that takes her deep into the underbelly of a glittering domain where models are washed up at twenty-one, selling lipstick is a billion-dollar snake pit, and you´re only as good as your last assignment. But Dallas is up to the challenge. She´d better be, because the murderer has designs to silence Dallas—whose next fashion tip could be what to wear with cement shoes…

Filled with delicious, behind-the-scenes details and knockout beauty advice that could only come from a fashion insider, Going Out In Style marks the debut of a fast-paced, stylish new series with a hip sleuth who proves crime-solving has never looked better.

A tall blonde Texan with an eye for quality and a taste for the offbeat, Dallas O'Connor has a sterling reputation in the fashion ad business. She can hunt down pink python sandals, a vintage mink, or a chain-link bikini—whatever it takes to create “the look.” But lately, she’s also earning a name as a saavy sleuth with an eye for solving the most baffling mysteries.

Now, in the midst of a blast-furnace summer, a glamorous fashion shoot in deliciously cool Seattle sounds like heaven. The pay is almost too good to be true. The need for sky-diving experience seems a bit quirky. But Dallas is willing to overlook a few flapping red flags...until a top male model in a sabotaged Porsche plunges into the Pacific.

Soon rumors are flying that the Mob is involved, and suspicions are developing faster than a Polaroid. Dallas has her own ideas about the feuding designers and their brooding manager…the enigmatic lingerie model...the mysterious man calling her. With locations set on rooftops and another victim ripe to take a fall, Dallas is working overtime to find the villain among the hand-stitched wool suits—before she ends up being fitted…for the last outfit she’ll ever wear.
